Now I'd like to talk about a time when I felt really close to a family member of mine. It was when my mother beat cancer after a long battle. Thankfully, she became cancer-free. If my memory serves me right, it was three years ago when she received the news that there was something strange in her biopsies. She especially went to the hospital to have a yearly health check-up. Despite the news, she remained very strong and positive.
